Alex sat impatiently in a plastic chair by the window of the local piercing parlour. He knew everybody that worked here, well apart from the few trainees they sometimes had, for work experience or whatever.
He was slouched, his hair ruffled up against the glass, he wasn't fond of waiting. Alex fiddled with his lip studs, he had come back to 'Pins N Needles' to get his cartilage re-pierced. The last time was unsuccessful and very painful. Whilst tapping his foot to the punk rock music blaring through the speakers in reception, his thoughts drifted to Dakota. He wondered what she'd think of the new piercing. Shrugging, Alex brought his attention back to his surroundings, it seemed like nobody was around.

[/i] The 17 year old was staring a drawing on a peice of paper, something someone had designed and sent to the shop. It was simply undecipherable "It looks like a car sick cow to me!" He muttered, his accent thick A voice from the back echoed towards the desk "How would you know what a carsick cow looked like, PJ?" He asked. Phoenix shrugged his shoulder as he picked up a pair of latix free gloves and stepped into one of the single rooms, muttering something about the 'cow'. Apon turning around to look at the person sitting in the chair, He smirked a gave a slight nod "whatcha here for?" the question was asked with his back turned to Alex for a moment before he pulled himself up on the counter and sat down.[/size][/ul]

Alex crossed one of his long legs over the over, moving his red and black checked vans in time to the music beat. He looked up, slightly surprised, as he heard a voice.He looked up, his expression not readable, pushing back his thick black hair he replied with, "Cartilage" pointing to his left ear, above his luminous orange plug.
He frowned slightly, he recognized the boy in front, they were in the same year at Watson Academy, but he couldn't quite remember his name, so he didn't bother saying anything more.

Back down in Brooklyn, I'm so hard Naked with the lady, crashed my car Maxed out all of my credit cards, black out in Brooklyn Brooklyn!
[Yay! Ryuu wants to be bad ass and get pierced >3]
After his successful trip for a tattoo, Ryuu decided it was high time he added some piercings to his collection. Strolling casually down the street in a crumpled, bright red t-shirt and faded acid wash jeans, he looked the picture of un-tidiness. His hair was greasy and all in his face, his jeans were ripped and torn, and his shoes were battered and falling apart at the stitching. He didn’t really care, and he had a silly smile on his face.
Walking into the shop, he was instantly blasted with grungy sounding music, the kind with fast guitars and screaming vocalists. The kind Ryuu really loved. Sitting down, he picked his fingers idly for a while, staring at the tiled floor, lost in uncharacteristic thought. He didn’t notice Alex for a few minutes, but when he did; his face broke into a broad, toothy grin. “Yo! Alex! I haven’t spoken to you for ages…How you been?” he asked brightly, slapping him on the shoulder playfully, and perhaps a little harder than he thought. He glanced up at the other guy, and he couldn’t help but stare a little. He really was gorgeous. Blinking it off, he went back to staring at the floor, deep in thought, which was very out of character for Ryuu.

Alex recognised the voice immediately, quite surprised that his normal greeting hadn't been shouted at him. He was used to being called an emo muffin, but Alex did just fine.
"Alright Ryuu" He grinned back, turning so he both guys were in his eyesight. He rolled his eyes, before flashing the pools of aqua blue directly at Ryuu, "Not a lot mate, got yourself out of detention?" He said, he had wondered what Ryuu was up too, come to think of it, he was actually going to text him after he had his ear done.
He gasped, seeing the look of concentration on his best buddies face for a second, "Wait, you haven't been thinking have you?" He joked.

Ryuu, being his usual self, couldn’t help but stare as Alex turned his piercing blue eyes on him. Swallowing down a stupid comment, he shrugged. “You didn’t see me,” he smirked impishly, and looked up at the ceiling. Ever since…Ugh, gotta forget about that. He was getting side tracked again, but Alex’s little comment about thinking made his guts twist. “I have, actually,” he replied tersely, his blazing green eyes hardened a little, “And it sucks.” The pout that followed totally ruined his unimpressed façade, and he crossed his arms and sulked, Irja style. Not that anyone knew Irja. His guts twisted again, it wasn’t long now before the whole of Watson wouldn’t have to make do with the cheep imitation. Irja was coming to town. Woopte doo.

[/i] Phoenix repeated as he jumped of the counter, his voice a soft whisper as he sang along with the music, searching through the variety of drawers in the room "Ugh... hold on, i'll be back" As he began to move out of the room, He brushed across Ryuu, not realizing that he was there at first "Sorry Man" He said before stepping out of the room. It had only taken him a moment and he was back with a couple of needle kits in his hands, which he shoved into the drawer "Phoenix?" Turning around, he stared at the manager who was leaning on the door. He was an older fellow, about six foot and slightly stocky. His body was lined with many tattoos and gauges in his ears "I figured out what it was.... It was self portrait someone wants done." Laughter came from PJ's end and he shook his head "You do it.. I'm busy"Looking at the one peircing kit he had set on the counter, Phoenix took a moment to glance over at Ryuu " Hey! didn't recognize you" His accent drew threw as he cleansed the cartlidge on Alex's ear.[/size][/ul]

Alex laughed, and moved over to the over side of the room, taking a seat and crossing his legs again, it seemed impossible in his tight black jeans.
He noticed the look on Ryuu's face, and instantly knew that something was bothering him, "Worried you've impregnated someone?" He laughed, but then put on his serious face. "...What's up mate?" He asked, genuinely worried.
Alex nodded in Phoenix' direction, as he left the room for a second, and looked over at Ryuu, wondering whether the boy would actually tell him what was bugging him.
Phoenix... that was the name Alex had been looking for, maybe it did ring a bell. "You're the graffiti kid right?" Alex then asked, suddenly out of the blue as he remembered now.

Ryuu grinned at PJ, and then threw a playful punch at Alex as he moved away. “Nah, you’d definitely know if that had happened,” he shuddered, remembering when he really did make someone pregnant. He sighed again, and gazed at the ceiling, “Well, firstly, I hooked up with that Bill kid. Secondly, he thinks I’m going to be committed. And thirdly…um…Did I ever tell you I had a brother?” he frowned, about to say ‘thirdly, Irja’s coming to Watson,’ till he realised he probably hadn’t told Alex about him. Sighing, he shifted in his seat nervously.
Picking his fingers thoughtfully, he just couldn’t get the image of Irja out of his head. The image of Irja in his head was not a nice one. It was a mixture of the time they’d argued about Ryuu’s pregnant girlfriend and the last time he’d seen him. It hadn’t been a good last look, hard and etched with fury and disappointment.
[Ryuu's sulking XD]

[/i] He said, showing it to Alex before picking up the needle "Graffitti kid? is that what people are calling me?" He asked with a broad smile "Yeah... and thanks, but you can call me PJ" He added. Phoenix then looked over at Ryuu "What do you want done.... or are you here for moral support?" He asked, nodding towards Alex as he sat the needle and ring on a small tray "Which side?" He asked looking at alex.[/size][/ul]

Alex laughed, as he rubbed his shoulder, returning Ryuu’s pout. He raised his eyebrows, “Bill” He laughed, “Do you always have to get everything you want” He joked, he shrugged at the fact Bill was the kind of kid to commit, it was quite funny, if he thought that would that person would be Ryuu. But it could happen.
He thought for a moment, “You’ve mentioned it” He pointed out, and as he remembered, he realised that Ryuu never seemed to talk about his brother that much, “The one that bought you your rather fetching cell, right?” He checked, Irja apparently was the person behind the pink phase.
Alex laughed, again, “That’s what I’ve heard” He smirked, “PJ it is” He replied, “I’m Alex” He said, introducing himself to Phoenix, as he pointed to his left ear. He wasn’t too worried about the pain, he knew how much it hurt, since last time had gone horribly wrong.

“Yes, I do,” he replied stubbornly, “I asked first! Normally I just…y’know,” he shrugged “But that’s beside the point. He still hates my guts. He keeps telling me he’s too good for me, and that’s making me want it more. He doesn’t know what he’s getting himself into.” Ryuu shook his head, smirking impishly. People who brought themselves above Ryuu got in trouble. He snorted when Alex mentioned his cell phone. It was a very good phone, even though it was Barbie pink. “Yeah, the very same. He’s coming to Watson soon. I think he wants to make sure I stay out of trouble. Yay for me,” he punched the air in half-hearted sarcasm, and scowled further, like a sulking child.
Laughing, he shook his head and ran a hand through his hair self consciously. “Moral support? Get real!” he snorted, “Alex isn’t that big a baby. Nah, I’m here for tattoo. Thinking of that one,” he said, pointing to a wing tattoo for the shoulders. Ryuu knew his dad would absolutely murder him when he found out, but he didn’t particularly care. Irja would probably have a lecture up his sleeve too. Ryuu always felt he was being chided wherever he went. It wore on his nerves sometimes.

Alex couldn't help but laugh, a little louder than last time. "What, so you just asked him" He said, it sounded ridiculous, but typically Ryuu. "Everyones too good for you" He smirked, leaning back in the chair. Surprised by Ryuu's comment Alex looked up from his vans, "You never said anything before" He said, "Aren't you glad?" He asked, he didn't really know the situation between Ryuu and his twin.
Eyes still wider than usual, but still vibrant in colour, Alex opened his mouth to speak again, "Another one" He said, half laughing, "Who's feeling rebellious today?" He said, mocking the voice of a much younger child.

[/i] He teased raising an eyebrow in his direction. "Just doggin' you" He grinned before turning his attention back to Alex. He sat the ring down for a moment and pressed the needle to Alex's cartlidge, quickly shoving in through. He let it hold the hole for a moment. Then, in one swift movement, this ring was in and the needle out. He laid the needle on the tray and placed the back on the ring "your set" He nodded to alex.[/size][/ul]

Alex laughed at Ryuu, when Phoenix said something about a girl tattoo, he had completely forgotten about the needle about to go through his left ear, and the pain was sharper than last time.
"Fuck" He said loudly, as Phoenix twisted the ring through his ear, he blinked a few times, then shook his head. Ouch. "Great" He said in reply, "Cheers mate" He said. Alex fiddled around in his pocket for his wallet. Grabbing the black leather case he opened it. His fingers traced the wad of cards trying to look for the right one, most of them were from his parents, bribery and pity money. He picked out the silver one, and chucked it at Phoenix, "Just put however much it is on there" He shrugged.
